NS- There is big fight brewing in Anne
Arundel for the treasurership of that county. The
taxes are collected there under the same system
that prevails in Baltimore county, but there the
treasurer is elected by the County Commissioners,
Hon. Michael Bannon holding the Office at pres
nal Revenue Collector for Maryland, is q candi-
date for the Office, as is also Mr.. Shipley, presi
dent of the Board of County Commissioners. Mr..
Bannon's term expires in April, and he will most
likely be candidate for re election, so that there
will be triangular fight, with chances, as things
look at present, in favor of DR.. Wells, who is the
leader of the anti German faction in that county

rs The contest in the New Jersey Legislature
over the election of a United States Senator was
ended on Wednesday by the choice of Rufus Blod-
gett, Democrat. This result was brought about
by the Republicans voting almost unanimously
for Blodgett, in order to beat Albeit, the Demo
cratic caucus nominee, who is extremely obnoxious
to Them Abbett's thirty eight votes stuck to him
to the last, Blodgett getting through on very
slender majority. The new Senator is superinten-
dent of the New York and Long Branch Railroad
and has served in the Legislature. He is said to
he good man.

GS- Mayor Hewitt, of New York city, who
could not attend the dinner of the Brooklyn Dem
ocratic Club on account of sickness, wrote strong
letter in which he spoke in very decided terms
against the Knights of Labor. The letter created
quite a stir and it was suppressed, the chairman
of the club refusing to have it read Referring to
the Knights he says they are ia secret organiza-
ton which has been growing in strength and
power, and which seeks to enslave the labor Of
this country" He calls this tyranny against
which the Democratic power has ever struggled
and which it must now confront and denounce."

@-We publish in THE UNION to-day some ex-
tracts from the law relating to the holding of in
quets in this State and invite the attention of the
County Commissioners and the public generally
to them. From these It would appear plain that
Baltimore county pays annually--without the
shadow of law-many dollars on account OF cor
oners inquests that should be saved to the people,
and it is now about time to put stop to this Leak
The law is very plain upon the subject and it
should be enforced to the letter. When the cause
of q death is purely accidental, and the fact is
paIpsbe to every one, no inquest is necessary and
so the law says. But the inquest business goes
on without interruption and the county is made
to pay every bill that is presented. This is a
gross piece of injustice to the taxpayers and it
should be discontinued at once.

@s>The Legislature of West Virginia failed to
elect United States Senator within the time pre-
scribed by law, and the Governor will now have
to appoint a successor to Senator Camden, who, it
is believed, will be new man who was not voted
for by the Legislature. The two factions of the
Democratic party in that State are at dagger's
points and split is apprehended. 1t is said the
Governor will appoint Daniel B. Lucas, who was
the leader of the kickers in the Legislature.

@9-President Cleveland again created consid-
cradle excitement in Washington on Monday last
by nominating another colored man for Recorder
of Deeds of the District, in place Of Matthews
who was twice rejected by the Senate. The new
man is James NJ. Trotter, colored lawyer and
Democratic politician of Massachusetts,. 1t is said
that the President never even saw Trotter, but
being determined that q colored man should
have the place of Recorder, which was formerly
held by Fred Douglass, he selected him. One OF
the principal objections to Matthews was that he
was not resident of the district, and it is likely
the same thing will be strongly urged against
Trotter, who will have tough time to get through
the Senate, the committee to which his nomina-
tion was referred having already voted against
him
